Wouldn't Fathers Day be nice if the kids ever remembered, I have three, and they are old enough to know, they have kids of there own, but dad is only around when they want something.

I don't expect presents, but a call would be nice. nothing today

Geez Alan, what a bugger and of all days too!
Hope you got through it all O.K.

I thankfully had a much better day with my brothers family and parents over for lunch, the Mrs treated me like king for a day and the kids had a ball.
Hope all you other Dads had a happy fathers day too!

Cheers Daniel.

Had a top day yesterday with my wife & kids. Started off with bacon & eggs on the BBQ, some great pressies - a Simpsons "Duff" mug, some chocolate and a copy of Richard Dawkins' "The Greatest Show on Earth," spent some time with my Dad and then finally another BBQ for dinner - Delicious T-Bones and snags with a supermassive baked potato (with a Beer to wash it all down of course). All in all a great day.

I took mum out to visit dad in hospital. We took him on a drive up to the new tourist place at the top of Bulli Pass and to another lookout then had a little picnic. Dad really enjoyed it. He told me a month ago that he would never leave the coast again and yesterday commented that he never thought he would see that view again. We don't know what the future holds for him, he might come home but I think he will go to a nursing home, so we try to treasure every chance we get to enjoy something with him. I felt great on the way home but knackered from pushing the wheelchair about.

Sorry to hear that, Leon. This can happen in this busy, rush-about lifestyle everyone seems to have these days. I'm sure when you hint to them next time, they'll get the guilts.
